Company profile

Orthosie Systems, LLC is a Texas-based non-practicing entity (NPE) that acquires and asserts patents related to vehicle telematics and monitoring. The company has no known products or services and operates as a patent assertion entity whose business model is centered on licensing and litigation. According to RPX Corporation, Orthosie Systems is controlled by Daniel F. Perez. Public information regarding its founding year, employee count, or revenue is not available.

The company's sole business appears to be patent monetization. Its litigation campaigns have focused on patents related to vehicle monitoring, tracking, and security systems. For example, litigation initiated in 2016 involved a single patent (7,430,471) asserted against companies providing hardware and software for tracking the location of vehicles and other mobile assets using GPS. As an NPE, Orthosie Systems generates revenue by licensing its patent portfolio to operating companies, often under the threat of litigation.

Orthosie Systems' patent-litigation posture is that of an aggressive plaintiff. It has filed at least 19 lawsuits as a plaintiff and has not been tracked as a defendant in any patent cases. This 19-to-0 plaintiff-defendant ratio is characteristic of a patent assertion entity. The company has frequently filed its lawsuits in the Eastern District of Texas, a venue historically considered favorable to patent plaintiffs.

The company's litigation targets are prominent firms in the automotive, telecommunications, and fleet management industries. Defendants in its campaigns have included AT&T, T-Mobile, OnStar, LoJack, Daimler Trucks, PACCAR, and Volvo Group. These cases typically allege that the defendants' GPS and vehicle tracking products infringe on patents held by Orthosie. In one instance, after being sued by Orthosie in 2015, telematics company Geotab noted that Orthosie dropped the case without payment after Geotab highlighted its record of successfully invalidating NPE patents.
